Façade (ballet)

''Façade'' is a ballet by Frederick Ashton, to the music of William Walton; it is a balletic interpretation of items from ''Façade – an Entertainment'' (1923) by Walton and Edith Sitwell. The ballet was first given by the Camargo Society at the Cambridge Theatre, on 26 April 1931. It has been regularly revived and restaged all over the world.
==Background==
In 1923 ''Façade – an Entertainment'' was first given in public. It consisted of poems by Edith Sitwell recited by the author over music composed for the purpose by William Walton, performed by an ensemble of six players. The work was regarded as ''avant-garde'' and caused some controversy.〔Kennedy, pp. 29–31〕 In 1926 Walton arranged a suite of five of the numbers, omitting the spoken verses and expanding the orchestration. In 1929 the choreographer Günter Hess created a ''Façade'' ballet for the German Chamber Dance Theatre, using Walton's orchestral suite; Sitwell declined to allow her words to be used. Hess visited London in 1930 and is believed to have exchanged ideas with Ashton.〔Kennedy, p. 62〕
Ashton's ballet was premiered by the Camargo Society, established the previous year to foster the work of British dancers and choreographers. The work was set to the five items of Walton's suite, and orchestrations of two other numbers from the original entertainment, which are thought to have been made for the purpose by Constant Lambert, who conducted the premiere.〔Palmer, Christopher. ("Façade. Ballet suite" ). Hyperion Records, 1990, accessed 2 April 2013〕
